Why blog?

As a SharePoint administrator/architect/developer (what do I call myself anyway?) working for a state agency, I'm often called upon to troubleshoot user issues, diagnose database problems and design and configure websites for large initiatives and small projects.  This usually involves searching the web for tips and tricks and hoping someone else has had the same trouble I've had.  And, obviously, I hope they've found an answer. 

In my internet investigations, I've run across many blogs and they are, for the most part, outstanding.  But I always find myself needing to solve a problem or design and build a solution without customizing code, buying any gadgets, or hiring a skilled coder.  Because, to put it simply, it's just not allowed - at least not at my particular agency.  So, I've had to become more of an "out-of-the-box" specialist.

And that is why I decided to start blogging.  I hope to build a repository for myself and if others can benefit, then that's an even better - and less selfish - reason to blog.
